Electricity Transmission and Distribution

Electricity transmission and distribution are the processes of delivering electricity from power plants to homes and businesses. Electricity is generated at power plants and then transmitted over long distances using high-voltage power lines. The electricity is then distributed to homes and businesses through lower-voltage power lines.


Transmission

Electricity is transmitted over long distances using high-voltage power lines, which are typically located on tall towers or poles. High-voltage transmission lines are necessary because electricity loses energy as it travels over long distances, and higher voltages help reduce these losses.


Substations

Electricity is transmitted from power plants to substations, which are facilities that transform the high-voltage electricity into lower-voltage electricity for distribution. Substations also regulate the flow of electricity to ensure a steady and reliable supply.


Distribution

Once the electricity has been transformed to lower voltages at substations, it is distributed to homes and businesses using lower-voltage power lines. These power lines are typically located on poles or underground.


Maintenance and Upgrades

Maintaining and upgrading the electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure is critical to ensuring a reliable and efficient energy supply. Regular maintenance, such as tree trimming and equipment inspections, helps prevent outages and other issues. Upgrades, such as installing smart grid technology, can improve the efficiency and reliability of the electricity system.
